Even if you’re just travelling for a short period of time, you’ll never know when you’d need medical attention. Before you leave for that coveted dream vacation, make sure that you call your carrier and ask if your plan provides coverage while you’re travelling out of the country. If they don’t provide any foreign medical coverage, there are inexpensive international health insurance plans that will cover you while you are traveling or living abroad.
